1971 Chevrolet Chevelle

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1971 Chevy Chevelle with a 1970 front clip & rear bumper! This custom build has been completely done from top to bottom. Starting with the boxed, media blasted & painted frame up to an all-new suspension using heavy duty springs & tubular A-Arms, this bad boy is for "GO" as much as it is "Show". This is a no nonsense 1971 Chevelle. Power is supplied by a 2015 6.2L LS3/6L80E 6-speed automatic combo that is out of a Chevy SS & was showing only 19k miles on it when it was swapped and is now right about 30k total miles. The addition of the ceramic coated headers, a custom fabbed 3" X-piped exhaust and a simple tune have increased the factory rating of 415hp very nicely! The power is running through a 12-bolt Detroit Locker Posi rearend fitted with some new Yukon axles, bearings, a very highway friendly 3.42 gearing and all that is all setting on a killer looking set of 18" Foose wheels with Nitto rubber, assuring many enjoyable road trips while not having to stop at every gas pump on the way. The complete car was Dynomatted before being reassembled and all wiring was redone using an EZWire system. Inside the Chevelle is a retro-looking set of analog/digital of Dakota Digital gauges, a cold blowing Vintage Air system, a retro look AM/FM/Bluetooth, some nicely finished buckets, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with tilt, cruise control, a center console & even a new headliner that all show better than new. This is the type of build that a lot of us dream about...the combination of a classic American muscle car combined with the performance & reliability of a modern drivetrain.
